1. I think you're a tad confused,

[Logical]

2. I don't think I am! n-t

[Glassunion]

3. Actually you are confused.

Utah is tied for 1st with Alaska and Arizona.

[Logical]

4. OK, you are right. My bad! n-t

[iverglas]

7. sadly, it's you who's confused ;)

You are indeed at Democratic Underground, but you have inadvertently wandered into the Guns forum.

I hope you made you way back safely!

5. Stragely enough, the Brady state ratings don't correlate with any actual measurable data

Such as rates of violent crime, or of crimes involving firearms.

[TheWraith]

8. Well, three of their top four states are also high crime areas...

... but I suspect that's coincidental.

[Oneka]

11. But, by god

they can sure pile up your point total for an assault weapon, and high cap magazine BAN

[Glassunion]

6. I like how they have a demerit system this year.

[AtheistCrusader]

9. Meh, the 17 points my state got are all pretty much acceptable to me.

Big fat zeroes in all the stupid stuff.

[Logical]

10. I agree, some of the stuff seems legit to me also. n-t

[lawodevolution]

12. What can we do to get Texas a negative score?

I hope the open carry law helps deduct some points

[Logical]

15. I guess allow someone to kill burglars in neighbors yards for no reason. Oh wait.....you do already!

[Tejas]

18. cite please?

Until then, stay off my lawn. :rofl:

[RSillsbee]

13. Colorado needs some work

We should at least be in the bottom 5

[beevul]

14. How did they rate DC?

Or did they not...again.

[Hoopla Phil]

16. Texas is working on getting rid of 4 of its points right now.

We're trying to pass the gun in cars while at work and the campus carry right now. The car thing looks to pass but the campus carry has hit a snag. We're also working on open carry for those with CHLs too.

Not perfect but we're getting there. . .

[Hoopla Phil]

17. Is that "demerit" for constitutional carry new?

I don't remember it being there.

[ManiacJoe]

22. Yes, it is new.

[-..__...]

19. MA is beyond salvation.

It's highly unlikely things will ever change for the better in this gulag.

2-3 more years until retirement, and I'm outt'a here.

Firearms and political issues aside, AZ is appealing for the weather... NH is appealing for maintaining my New England roots and proximity to family and friends.

Montana, Wyoming... well, they have a certain appeal also.

Bottom line... as long as it's a state that minds it's own fucking business and leaves me the fuck alone.

I could adapt, and hopefully be happier than I am with the current state of affairs.

20. Good to see...

my state places in the bottom 45 on that list. Just 2 points shy of being where it needs to be.
